How Do I Get A Cash Bail l?

When someone is taken into custody, the first thing that must be decided is whether or to release them on bail. If the accused is able and able to post bail, they can be released from prison while their case progresses through the court system. But what is bail and how does that work?

We will talk about cash bail and what it does to ensure defendants attend court appearances.

How do I get a cash bail ?

Cash bail means that the arrestee must make a payment in cash to be released from jail and allowed to attend their court date. Cash bail ensures that the accused is able to return to court when they are due.

Cash Bail: How Does It Work?

An arrestee will be taken directly to the police station where they will be booked. The arresting officer will make the decision about whether to release the suspect on bail or keep him in custody.

If the officer thinks the arrestee may be a flight risk or a threat to society, they might recommend that the judge set a higher bail amount. If the officer determines the arrestee to not be a flight hazard or to pose no danger to society they will recommend their release on own recognizance.

Once the bail amount is established, the arrestee has the option to post bail and be released. They have the option of paying cash or using a bail company to pay the full amount.

If an arrested person does not have sufficient funds to post bail they can contact a bail company. The bail company will post bail on the arrestee's behalf. The bail bonds company will then post the bail. The fee is typically around ten percent.

Once the bail is posted the arrestee can be released from detention and given a date to make their appearance in court. The bail will be forfeited, and they will be held on a warrant for their arrest if they do fail to appear.
